CVE-2014-4064 is a Windows Kernel Pool Allocation Vulnerability affecting various versions of Microsoft Windows, including Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, RT, and Server 2008/2012. It stems from improper handling of paged kernel pool allocation for uninitialized memory by kernel-mode drivers. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain sensitive kernel address information through a crafted application. With a CVSS score of 4.9, this is a medium-severity vulnerability. It requires local access (AV:L) and low attack complexity (AC:L), with no authentication needed (Au:N). The primary impact is confidentiality (C:C), as it can lead to information disclosure, but does not directly impact integrity or availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting low public attention.
